- 3 min read
As a therapist, your website is often the first impression potential clients have of your practice. It’s more than just an online presence—it’s a tool to build trust, showcase your expertise, and make it easy for clients to connect with you. But what does it actually cost to create a professional website that meets your needs? In this guide, we’ll break down the factors that influence website design costs, typical price ranges, and how to budget effectively.
Factors That Influence Wix Website Design Costs for Therapists
Several factors determine the cost of designing a professional website for therapists using Wix. Here’s what you need to consider:
Scope of the Project: The number of pages you need (e.g., a simple 3-page website vs. a 6-page site with an online booking system) significantly impacts the cost.
Customisation Needs: A fully custom design tailored to your brand will cost more than using a pre-designed Wix template.
Platform Features: Wix offers affordable options, but hiring a professional Wix Expert ensures your website is optimised for functionality, aesthetics, and client conversion.
Additional Features: Features like SEO optimisation, mobile responsiveness, branding integration, and secure client portals can add to the overall cost.
Breakdown of Costs for Wix Website Design for Therapists
Here’s a general idea of what you can expect to pay for different types of websites:
DIY vs. Hiring a Professional
DIY Costs: Platforms like Wix offer subscription plans starting at AUD $20–$50/month. However, you’ll need to invest significant time and effort to create a professional-looking site yourself.
Professional Design Costs: Hiring a designer ensures you get a polished, effective website tailored to your needs.
Typical Price Ranges for Professional Design
Small/Basic Website (3 pages): Starting from AUD $1,990
Foundation Website Package – Perfect for therapists who need a simple online presence with a contact form.
Medium Website with Blog (5 pages): Starting from AUD $2,800

Hidden Costs to Consider

Platform Subscription Fees: For example, Wix subscriptions range from AUD $20–$50/month depending on the plan.
Maintenance and Updates: Regular updates to keep your site secure and functional.
Additional Branding Services: Logos, social media templates, and marketing materials can add value but come at an additional cost.
